Jimbo Fisher

[18IsTheMan]

It's interesting to note that, through 50 games, as head coach at A&M Fisher has a 35-15 record. Kevin Sumlin had a 36-14 record that put him firmly on the heat seat. The big difference, of course, is that A&M is paying a boat load of cash to Fisher with his fully guaranteed contract. Sumlin was making $5 million/year. Jimbo is making north of $9 million for essentially the same results.

I have never been a jimbo fan. He is full of excuses.

I know some commended him for his rant on Saban this off-season but it made him look very foolish and insecure.

Bet the folks that are paying big NIL $ to A&M may be questioning their ROI

That was a crushing defeat. They've gone from a possible contender in the West contender to a pretender pretty quickly. App St doesn't show up to lose and cash the check. Killer of Giants.

There is a real possibility TAMU/Jimbo go 1-3 their next 4 games.
Miami
Arkansas
Miss St
Bama.

I'm sure Jimbo will make whatever changes are necessary to have them playing well for our game.

And this was their big opportunity because Bama looks average. Arky looks good, but still not firing on all cylinders.

I would certainly enjoy the meltdown should they loose to Miami this weekend.

Jimbo is sham. Without a Heisman qb he is no better than an 8-4 coach.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Alas, I have very little confidence in Miami to be improved. Paper tigers. Serial preseason overachievers.

BCC - Big Contract Curse. Saban signs a new one then the team plays bad. Dabo is next I hope.

Miami, Notre Dame and NC State are three consistently over ranked teams to start the season.

He's worse than Sumlin. Jimbo has arguably the most talented roster in the country, he's just a terrible coach who owes everything to Jameis Winston.

 

[The Orange Dog]

I don’t think he is eligible for the Saban coaching rehab center.

 

[athenscock3]

And the people at FSU have no regrets about cutting him loose for someone else to overpay. I just hope his downward trend continues. Just never cared for him.

FSU didn't cut him loose. He left them high and dry.

Strong possibility. But that team on the bottom of that list has deep concerns of its own. Their running backs and receivers are not up to Bama championship standards. Not taking anything at all away from Texas, but Bama was plain bad on Saturday and I see almost no chance they will play for the national championship.

This is correct.

He's fatally flawed at quarterback - just as Florida is, which was demonstrated in the second half of their loss to Kentucky Saturday night. .

Almost no chance? A team that has been in all but one CFP? A team that has played in six national championship games in the past seven seasons, winning three of them? A team that has finished no worse than 3rd in the recruiting rankings the past 4 cycles? A team with the returning Heisman winner? A team with perhaps the best HC in college football history? Almost no chance?

I was being beneficent. When it's all over in January, and a champion is crowned that isn't them, as happened last season, whatever has prevented them from seizing the prize will be obvious for all to see.

East of the Mississippi we have no clue about Tex oil money.

Yeah, it feel we're in about the same place as Miami. But that's not the topic of this particular thread.

Somebody on this here board told me how good UF was after their first game against Utah.

Maybe Kentucky's that good.

Would definitely be fun to watch (SECN: SEC This Morning)!!

Kentucky looked good defensively with their LB's and DB's making some vicious hits and playing very aggressively
